Kulandzisa KwaLukha
19 Wabese ungena eJerikho futsi bekendlula. 2 Kuleyondzawo bekunendvodza lebeyibitwa ngekutsi nguZakewu, ingumtselisi lomkhulu futsi injingile. 3 Yetama kubona Jesu, kodvwa yehluleka kumbona ngenca yesicumbi sebantfu njengobe beyiyimfishane. 4 Ngako yagijima embili yagibela esihlahleni semkhiwa* kuze imbone, ngobe Jesu bekatawendlula ngalapho. 5 Watsi Jesu nakefika lapho, wabuka etulu wase utsi kuyo: “Zakewu, yehla masinyane ngobe lamuhla ngitakuvakashela endlini yakho.” 6 Ngako wehla masinyane wamemukela ngenjabulo endlini yakhe. 7 Bantfu batsi nabakubona loku, bonkhe bacala kunhhinhhitela batsi: “Lomuntfu uvakashe endlini yesoni.”+ 8 Kodvwa Zakewu wasukuma watsi eNkhosini: “Nkhosi, incenye yetintfo tami ngitayipha labeswele, futsi konkhe lengakutsatsa* kulabanye ngitakubuyisela sekuphindvwe tikhatsi letine.”+ 9 Ngako Jesu watsi kuye: “Lamuhla insindziso ifikile kulendlu ngenca yekutsi nawe uyindvodzana ya-Abrahama. 10 Ngobe iNdvodzana yemuntfu yetela kutofuna lebebalahlekile nekutobasindzisa.”+
11 Njengobe bafundzi bakhe bebasalalele, washo lomunye umfanekiso ngobe bekasondzela eJerusalema, futsi bebacabanga kutsi uMbuso waNkulunkulu bewutawuvela ngaso leso sikhatsi.+ 12 Watsi: “Lenye indvodza yasebukhosini yaya eveni lelikhashane+ kuze iyobekwa kutsi ibe yinkhosi, bese iyabuya. 13 Yabita tisebenti tayo letingu-10, yatinika emamina* langu-10, yatsi kuto: ‘Wataliseni ngize ngibuye.’+ 14 Kodvwa takhamiti taseveni layo betiyitondza, ngako tatfumela emancusa kuyo kuze afike atsi: ‘Asifuni kutsi ube yinkhosi yetfu.’
15 “Yatsi naseyibekiwe kutsi ibe yinkhosi* yabuya, yabita letisebenti lebeyitinikete lemali* kuze ive kutsi tiyitalise kangakanani.+ 16 Ngako sisebenti sekucala sefika satsi: ‘Nkhosi, limina lakho ngilitalise ngatfola lamanye langu-10.’+ 17 Yatsi kuso: ‘Wente kahle sisebenti lesihle! Njengobe utivete wetsembekile etintfweni letincane kakhulu, yengamela emadolobha langu-10.’+ 18 Kwase kuta sisebenti sesibili satsi: ‘Nkhosi, limina lakho ngilitalise ngatfola lamanye lasihlanu.’+ 19 Nakulesi yatsi: ‘Nawe yengamela emadolobha lasihlanu.’ 20 Kodvwa lesinye sefika satsi: ‘Nkhosi, nali limina lakho, bengisolo ngiligocotele ngendvwangu futsi ngilifihlile. 21 Bengikwesaba kakhulu, ngobe bengati kutsi unelulaka; utsatsa lapho ungazange ubeke khona, uvune nalapho ungazange uhlanyele khona.’+ 22 Yatsi kuso: ‘Sisebenti lesibi, ngitakwehlulela ngaloko lokushito. Angitsi bewati kutsi nginelulaka, nekutsi ngitsatsa lapho ngingazange ngibeke khona, ngivune nalapho ngingazange ngihlanyele khona?+ 23 Lemali* yami awuyifakanga ngani-ke ebhange? Bengitawutsi nangibuya ngiyitsatse seyinentalo.’
24 “Ngako yatsi kulabo lebebeme edvutane: ‘Tsatsani lelimina lelikuye nilinike lona lonalangu-10.’+ 25 Kodvwa batsi kuyo: ‘Nkhosi, lomuntfu sewuvele unemamina langu-10!’ 26 Yona yaphendvula yatsi: ‘Ngitsi kini: Wonkhe umuntfu lonalokunyenti utawunikwa lokwengetiwe, kodvwa loyo lote lutfo, utawemukwa ngisho naloko lanako.+ 27 Ngako letsani letitsa tami lebetingafuni kutsi ngibe yinkhosi, nitibulale embikwami.’”
28 Jesu watsi nakacedza kusho loku, wachubeka wahamba waya eJerusalema. 29 Nasekasondzela eBhethifage kanye naseBhethani, eNtsabeni Yemincumo,+ watfuma bafundzi bakhe lababili,+ 30 watsi kubo: “Hambani niye kulela dolobha, futsi nitawutsi nanisandza kungena kulo nikhandze litfole lembongolo likhungiwe, lokute umuntfu loke waligibela. Nibolikhumula nililetse kimi. 31 Kodvwa nakukhona lonibutako atsi: ‘Nilikhumulelani?’ nibotsi kuye: ‘INkhosi iyalidzinga.’” 32 Ngako labo lebekabatfumile bahamba, batfola kunjengobe bekabatjelile.+ 33 Ngesikhatsi balikhumula, banikati balo batsi: “Nilikhumulelani lelitfole?” 34 Bona batsi: “INkhosi iyalidzinga.” 35 Balimikisa kuJesu, bagaca tingubo tabo tangetulu etikwalo, Jesu wase uyaligibela.+
36 Njengobe ahamba, bebendlala tingubo tabo tangetulu emgwacweni.+ 37 Ngekushesha nje nabasondzela endleleni leya eNtsabeni Yemincumo, bonkhe bafundzi bajabula futsi baphakamisa emavi badvumisa Nkulunkulu ngato tonkhe timangaliso lebebatibonile, 38 batsi: “Ibusisiwe iNkhosi leta ngelibito laJehova!* Akube nekuthula ezulwini, futsi akakhatinyuliswe Nkulunkulu!”+ 39 Labanye baFarisi lebebakulesicumbi batsi kuye: “Mfundzisi, yekhuta labafundzi bakho.”+ 40 Kodvwa wabaphendvula watsi: “Ngiyanitjela ngitsi: Kube laba bebangabindza, ematje bekatawumemeta.”
41 Nasekasondzela, walibuka lelidolobha futsi walikhalela,+ 42 watsi: “Nyalo kufanele ngabe wena sewuvele uyakucondza loko lokungakuletsela kuthula, kodvwa kufihliwe emehlweni akho.+ 43 Sikhatsi siyeta lapho titsa takho titawakha lutsango ngetigodvo leticijile, tikutungelete, futsi tikuvimbetele* kuto tonkhe tinhlangotsi.+ 44 Titakubhubhisa kanye nebantfwana bakho labanawe,+ futsi ngeke tishiye litje etikwalelinye litje,+ ngobe wena awuzange usibone sikhatsi sekuhlolwa kwakho.”
45 Ngemuva kwaloko, wangena ethempelini wacosha labo lebebatsengisa,+ 46 watsi kubo: “Kubhaliwe kutsi: ‘Indlu yami kutawutsiwa yindlu yemthantazo,’+ kodvwa nine niyente indlu yetigebengu.”+
47 Wachubeka afundzisa ethempelini malanga onkhe. Kodvwa baphristi labakhulu, tati temtsetfo kanye nebaholi bebantfu bebafuna kumbulala,+ 48 kepha behluleka kutfola indlela yekukwenta loko, ngobe bonkhe bantfu bebasolo baseceleni kwakhe, bamlalele.+
